Day 18 – Final! But …

Trip to the final destination before stage 1 comes to an end.

But waiting until rain stops is necessary. Nice ride to Aspen, even though the wide part of Hwy 82.

But then up to the Independence Pass – still Hwy 82. In the end at an altitude of 12,095 ft (3,687 m) sea level.

AND on the way rain starts which turns into hail. Also a new experience!

The advantage of hail is that it simply bounces away and doesn’t soak everything like rain/water does.

It does look a bit like the Alps. But you have to realize that the valley is already at an altitude of over 3,000 meters – and then come the mountains.

Final miles lead through Central city – a centre of gambling and casinos.

In the end, arrive at the nice  accommodation booked on AirBnB. And actually enjoying coffee and an evening drink in the sun. 

And unbelievable – the day ends in the sun …

Create your dreams – every day
